Now this is why the ICC needs a brain transplant.

What is up with the ICC? Is the current drama already not enough? Now, suddenly Ranjan Madugalle has a personal crisis, and is unable to conduct the Inzy hearing on Friday. Is that because Inzamam has stood and told the ICC that if they convict him in a kangaroo court, he'll take his men, who I am sure will stand behind him through this entire thing, and go home? Costing the ICC and the ECB millions of pounds in revenues from the ODIs? Or is it because the PCB has hired a lawyer to ensure that Inzamam gets more than what passes for justice at the kangaroo ICC?

And now, while tensions are mounting, the ICC has gone ahead and told the PCB that they can take their concerns about Darrell Hair and lump it where the sun don't shine, because the ICC lives in a world far more draconian than even Darrell Hair's. And if Pakistan feel he is unfair, then well they just don't get Darrell Hair's personal brand of justice. What a crock. Is the ICC forgetting that England had all but forgotten cricket prior to last year's Ashes? And the future of the game is in Pakistan and India, not in the tiny little island off France's north coast. Get your
act together ICC, or I will have to start referring to the ICC as the roo boys.
